It is the most searched dog breed throughout most of Africa; as well as parts of Europe, South America, and India.

The Golden Retriever was the top pick for Canada and the United States, making it one of the most searched dog breeds in North America.

This Map Shows the States with the Highest and Lowest Divorce Rates
The U.S. divorce rate is fairly high, leading many people to ask what factors play into the rates. From economics to religion, there are many factors that can impact whether a marriage ends in happily ever after or a parting of ways. The team at Joslyn Law Firm gives us insight into one specific aspect: location. They calculated the highest and lowest divorce rates in cities across the U.S. and plotted them out on this map.
The map is both easy to read and informative. The high divorce rate locations are highlighted in yellow and the low divorce rate cities are blue. Taking a look at these pinpoints all over the U.S. we see a variety of cities across the U.S. featured. The team listed the top 25 cities for both statistics.
These were the top ten results for cities with the highest divorce rates:
- Medford, OR
- Fort Smith, AR-OK
- Dothan, AL
- Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL
- Charleston, WV
- Bangor, ME
- Pueblo, CO
- Texarkana, TX-AR
- Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA
- Jackson, MI
Medford is a small city in Oregon with an average population that’s a little on the older end. Conventional wisdom suggests this could lead to higher divorce rates because the younger generations are getting married later in life and are trending toward longer marriages, whereas “gray divorce” (divorce over age 65) is becoming more common. As for low divorce rates, the city of Provo-Orem, Utah may top the list because of the high Mormon population, a religion that forbids divorce.

Mapping Drug Raids Across the U.S.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is tasked with ending drug trafficking in the United States. They’ve had a lot of success by undergoing a crucial operation: raiding drug labs. Drug labs are the source of a huge chunk of illegal drugs in the U.S. They’re used to create dangerous substances like methamphetamines. The key to stopping the illegal drug trade is to stop drug production at the source. The team at Joslyn Law Firm shows us the centers of these raids by mapping out the U.S. cities with the most raids in over a ten-year span. With this map we can see changing trends in drug trafficking.

The team presents us with one map and a few graphs. On the map we see the cities with the highest average number of raids between 2014 and 2023. Below, graphs show these cities raids on a yearly basis in this time span, as well as a graph comparing each state’s numbers.
Michigan has the highest number of drug raids. There are some unique aspects to this state that make it a hot spot. The state has a border with Canada that cuts through the Great Lakes. This watery border gives drug traffickers and easier way to move illegal goods in and out of the country. Michigan also has high unemployment rates and fewer economic opportunities, which leads more people to turn to drug use and sales. Michigan also produces many of the chemicals used in synthetic drugs, so drug labs have an easier time getting a hold of supplies. Learn more with the team’s extensive information and data.
